1. Best suitable for those interested in Under Graduate studies in UK, USA etc as ISC Certification is widely recognized on par with their local certifications. This may not apply to large number of parents as UG education in abroad is highly expensive (about $ 30000 – 40000) and financing options are very less for UG comparing with higher education.

3. Helps in inculcating out of the box thinking and churn out more confident children.

4. Highly recommended in a globalised world where good knowledge of English is a must for jobs from call centers to top MNCs.

5. The curriculum is perceived to be insufficient for India – centric entrance exams. Those interested in all India level entrance exams such as IIT JEE, AIEEE, AIPMT (Pre- Medical Test) have to put extra efforts on Maths and Science subjects.

6. Very difficult to score high percentage of marks as questions in the examinations can not be predicted. This will be a big disadvantage when some premier institutes and recruiters insist on past academic record for admissions and placements.
